I'll bet that if you looked at calorie intake, you'd find a similar pattern. I'd be willing to bet that it's not because the person is eating more to heal their body (at least in the first world, where we have to work to avoid caloric surplus, and where much of our diet is inflammatory), but because the brain seeks dopamine when you're under stress or uncomfortable. To put it another way: it's not that inflammation causes social media use, but that stress causes pleasure cravings.
